ha de hahaha . No I could be use RH threaded, but the irregular thread spacing makes geting the nuts on difficult

Hey guys, Quick question. Fitting a 2nd hand genuine toyota tow hitch to a 76 series. Each side has a pair of triangle(ish) shaped steel plates. Where do they go? One on the outside and the other inside the rail, both on the outside or something else again? Pic in my best MSpaint to show what I'm ...

Ive heard that the Dual-mass flywheels found in the manuals can be expensive to replace when they let go. The autos are meant to be very dependant on getting the right transmission oil (original MM oil is almost universaly recommended) and going to a larger tyre size (say stock 265/70 to 265/75) can ...

Bit of a dig here but the topic seemed appropriate enough to avoid starting a new thread. I'm looking serously at buying either a KZJ120R or a KDJ120R but red book is throwing out some weird info on the engine in the KDJ120R's. It says its a 1KD-TE (rather than FTV). The engine code in redbook ...

look up A44DL aka AW372L aka 03-72L (found on pajeros among other things)

According to some research I did this autos should be the same as the AW4 but with out the electrics (still have lockup TC)

I belive the AW4 is the A44DE aka AW372LE aka 03-72LE

My 93 LWB G16B vit has a single wire sensor. I used a Bosch 0 258 002 014 when I replaced it last. You might find that although you need a single wire sensor that you have a 4 wire plug at the harness (for heated type sensors used on later model vits). Thats what I found on mine but i do seem to ...

There's nothing illegal about putting a different odometer in with a different reading. Your car could have done 550,000 k's, and you can put one in that says 50,000 k's. The crime occurs when you attempt to sell the vehicle, and claim it has done 50,000k's, not 550,000k's. Or if you attempt to ...

Wow, he's filing for worldwide protection. I'll be his patent attorneys are chuckling over this one. I just read further in. The written opinion seems to say that claims 1-18 were not novel or inventive. Only claim 19 was upheld. Opps, that was issued on the 28th of March 2010 and nothing has been ...

It would be very easy(and cheap) for toyota to pen a Cease and Desist letter and send it to him if they believe thier patents or IP has been infringed. This guy claims hes been working on this for 20 years, if he has documentation to prove that, then he could mount a challenge to Toyota, but hes ...

It's a Prius (Hybrid Synergy Drive) Wonder how long till Toyota reinforces their patent? I love the Prius gearbox - marvellous idea. Looks to me like your close to the mark there. As far as results go its just a HSD with no electric drive/regenerative braking funtions/EDIT: and generation at cruise ...

a bit of extra info

non interference engine means an engine where the piston has groves ground into the top of them so that the valve cannot hit the top of the piston, helps prevent catastrophic implosions when you snap a timing belt. And it was a serious question, i am unsure how you can actually bend a valve with a ...

Ryco Z334 = LF3608

and its a combo full flow/bypass filter rather than full flow only

As above. Any of our metallurgy buffs know what grade (ASTM SAE etc) steel OME use for their coil springs. Or what the Shear Modulus is (I get between 50 and 70 GPa) Cheers Edit: Before I get beaten around the head by said buffs I'm wondering if shot peening and scragging will change the numbers ...

Platinum and iridium plugs are used because they last alot longer before you have to swap them about 100,000kms. Copper actually lets current flow easier and i've even seen silver spark plugs and they are slightly better again but they wear out even faster than the copper ones. I'd stick to the ...

Its been at least 30k since I last changed spark plugs so I'm doing some research to see if swapping to platinum and/or iridium plugs are worthwhile. The suzuki worldwide catalogue says to use either NGK BK6E or ND K20P-U as standard plugs. NGK say to use BKR6E and Bosch spits out FR7DC+ All these ...

All of this is done with the ignition off and testing the pins on the component not the pins on the plug that part of the harness. If you unplug your fitted TPS it should have 4 pins. Name them A B C and D from bottom to top. 1) Then using a multimeter the resistance between pins A and D should be 3 ...

I'm at work at the moment but it write it up as soon as I get home unless someone beats me to it.

You will need a multimeter, feeler guages (0.08mm and 0.05mm i think) and a stubby philips head screwdriver.

ps. I've been told toyo open country MT are good (2nd hand info) 285's are $440 I'd love a set, but not close to 200ea more than Kumho, and 150 more than others Ouch! Didn't realise they were that dear. carbonblack doesn't have prices just a $ rating system like $=cheap to $$$$=not cheap. The toyos ...

carbonblack returns what tyres are available in Oz (although it doesn't really cover the specialist brands Mickeys, procomps etc). It also lets you put in a postcode and tells who the stockists are. http://www.carbonblack.com.au/car-tyres/tyre-reviews/search-compare-tyres.aspx ps. I've been told ...

Just try adjusting it first, all thats needed is a basic multimeter. The method in the haynes manual is one of the few things that are correct (or close enough to work). If you can't get hold of it I or someone else can post it up.

To late I know but Kelpro #24237 should be cheaper. Don't know about availability.

Don't know if it helps, is really relevant or you have already seen it but I've always found this to be a fascinating read; http://duramax-diesel.com/spicer/index.htm at the risk of quoting out of context I found this to be the most startling result Compared to the AC, the K&N “plugged up” nearly 3 t ...

nope nothing in 18's in a LT i could find could find but... Kumho KL78 LT235/80R17 Toyo Open Country H/T LT235/80R17 120/117 S are the closest & smallest i could find in 17's (both 31-32" tyres).

I can get my lifted OME springs in and out of my vit (with a 30mm spacer) with out a spring compressor but I have to, disconnect strut, disconect sway bar and pull CV out (RH side) and unbolt CV (LH side). I tried borrowing a spring compresor but the one i used was not well suited to the diameter of ...

I'm sure I've seen cars that have a fan cooled battery housing. If you could hunt one of those up and duct the air from in front of the radiator it would make a cool system. Even better you could make an air tight enclosure, run the intake pipe from your snorkle through it an into the engine. The ...
